1) Reveille Peak Ranch – Blue Beginner Loop & Decision Point

Better known for mountain biking, Reveille Peak Ranch is a hiker’s delight: pink granite slabs, shady groves, river views, and a summit panorama at Decision Point. Less crowding than in-town trails and loads of route options make it a great weekend target.

TAIC Trail Tip: Exposed granite = sun. Pack an ultralight bottle you’ll actually carry. Titanium stays comfortable to the touch and won’t flavor your water.

  • Distance: Choose-your-length network (aim for the Decision Point climb)
  • Fees: $10 per person (cash/check only) • Camping: available
  • Why go: Epic views, varied terrain, fewer crowds

2) Pedernales Falls State Park – Falls Trail

Layered limestone cascades and sweeping river vistas define the Falls Trail. You can’t swim at the falls themselves, but there’s river access downstream for a refreshing dip. Want to go longer? Link up Madrone and Juniper Ridge for more mileage.

TAIC Trail Tip: When the sun is high, hydration matters. Titanium bottles help keep water tasting clean—even after a full day in the Texas heat.

  • Distance: Short overlook walk; longer loops nearby
  • Fees: $6 per adult (Texas State Parks Pass holders free) • Reserve on busy days
  • Why go: Iconic Hill Country geology, easy access, big views

3) Colorado Bend State Park – Spicewood Springs Trail

Creek crossings, natural springs, shade (yes!), and changing scenery make Spicewood Springs a crowd-pleaser. Add a side trip to Gorman Falls for an unforgettable day. It’s a bit of a drive from Austin, but totally worth it—especially if you stay to camp.

TAIC Trail Tip: Pack a titanium cup to enjoy a quick creek-side brew. Titanium won’t hold flavors or odors between coffee and electrolytes.

  • Distance: 3–5+ mi depending on turnarounds and add-ons
  • Fees: $5 per person (Texas State Parks Pass holders free)
  • Why go: Springs, shade, swimming access, diverse terrain

4) River Place Nature Trail – Panther Hollow & Canyon

Stair-packed and shade-kissed, this out-and-back delivers a real workout with creekside breaks and small falls. Expect weekend traffic—go early or midweek for a calmer climb.

TAIC Trail Tip: Start topped up. Our Ultralight Titanium Canteen carries plenty without weighing you down on the step-heavy return.

  • Distance: 5–6 mi round-trip (choose segments as needed)
  • Fees: Weekend fee posted (~$10); weekdays typically free
  • Why go: Conditioning, shade, creek access

5) Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve – Full Loop

Quiet loops, golden-hour views, and a trickling creek make Wild Basin a weekday favorite. It’s not technical—just peaceful—and only a short drive from downtown.

TAIC Trail Tip: Brew tea at home in a Titanium Travel Mug and sip warm mid-hike. Titanium keeps flavors pure from first pour to last.

  • Distance: 2–3+ mi via interconnected loops
  • Fees: Weekdays free; weekends/holidays $5 per adult or $15 per group (reservations required)
  • Why go: Easy access, low crowds on weekdays, gentle terrain
